The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 89 Second-grade Alchemy Assessment
Xiao Jun accepted the storage ring handed over by his subordinates. After delivering a large number of pills, Xiao Jun directly followed the contribution exchange list of books on theoretical knowledge related to alchemy within the Alchemist Guild, exchanging large quantities of knowledge and some second- and third-level pill recipes.

Naturally, he didn't care about the various speculations of those outsiders about Xiao Jun. Xiao Jun didn't care about these people's thoughts at all. In one month, he completed the task of refining hundreds of pills, and he could also take some time to refine his own pills in exchange for a large amount of wealth and medicinal materials.

In fact, they didn't understand that Xiao Jun was not working at full capacity. If he really worked at full capacity, the efficiency of alchemy would need to be tripled. And this was all because Xiao Jun needed to rest.

Completing the Alchemist Guild's alchemy tasks has a great benefit: you can borrow someone else's chicken to lay your own eggs! Use the medicinal materials provided by the Alchemist Guild to hone your own alchemy skills and gain contributions.

Contributions could be exchanged for spiritual materials and knowledge. The Alchemist Guild also gained a lot of benefits, hiring many alchemists to work willingly.

Anyway, any serious alchemist would ideally join the Alchemist Guild. The rules of other alchemist guilds might differ, but generally speaking, they were the same. Even joining the top alchemist power...Danta, was pretty much the same, with only a few minor differences in form.

Yao Chen... he was a genius alchemist, wasn't he? He was also a top-tier alchemist in the Dou Qi Continent. He had also risen through the ranks of the Alchemist Guild through continuous hard work. And because of Yao Chen's talent, he quickly stood out.

He had also advised Xiao Yan to join the Alchemist Guild for development... But Xiao Yan's approach was really different from that of ordinary alchemists. He had the buff of a famous teacher and his own qualifications to push his alchemy skills to the top.

Xiao Jun's development through the Alchemist Guild is the proper way for an alchemist to develop.

Absorbing a large amount of knowledge about the medicinal properties, medicinal power, and extracting the essence of medicinal materials with spiritual liquid... The knowledge within the Alchemist Guild is really vast. Even if Xiao Jun wants to learn all the knowledge in these books now, it is wishful thinking.

However, you can use this knowledge as your own whetstone and nutrition, integrate it all into the "True Medicine Form Explanation" to improve the level of your own medical skills.

Moreover, you can rely on yourself at any time, blend your wisdom, digest the knowledge exponentially and bring forth new ideas.

He took out various scrolls and books from the ring and flipped through them quickly, absorbing the knowledge with his eyes eagerly.

……

"In just one month... they really delivered over a hundred first-grade pills? Hiss..." Hao Yao took a long breath after hearing this.

Even if I were to go all out, I could do the same, but I'm a third-rank alchemist! Xiao Jun is only a first-rank alchemist. More importantly, how old is Xiao Jun, and how old am I?

Xiao Jun now is just a fraction of his own age?
"This matter... can be reported to the family and the head of the family will make the decision."

As the head of the family is a Dou Wang, there is naturally no need for him to condescend to find a first-grade alchemist, but it is not difficult to change his approach towards Xiao Jun and establish a good relationship with him.

Hao Yao is the alchemist of the Hao family, but he is also a member of the Hao family, so naturally he considers a lot for the Hao family.

He knew that if he could reach the fourth rank after trying his best, it would be good enough! And this alchemist genius would most likely become the fifth or even sixth rank.

This is a very good thing for the family. They can even obtain some elixirs to improve the Dou Wang realm or help break through the Dou Wang realm. These elixirs can become treasures to suppress the family!
It may take more than a hundred years to become a fifth-grade alchemist. This is a long time for a cultivator, but it is not long for a family. On the contrary, it is very short.

Hao Yao respectfully wrote a letter and delivered it to the head of the family. Practitioners who reached a realm above Dou Wang often spent years in seclusion. They no longer needed food or drink, and their cultivation supplies were provided by their families.

If one lives longer and all the familiar relatives have died, they can still enjoy spiritual practice and it is normal to go into seclusion for several years. At this time, the head of the family is in seclusion, and the completed letters can be handed to those around them, waiting to be read after they come out of seclusion.

Most of the other families and factions had similar reactions, but the alchemists were quite different.

Some alchemists were quite impressed by these reactions. A few were jealous and sour, but most were simply shocked, and then began to feel indifferent. Many of these alchemists simply discussed Xiao Jun in a nonchalant manner, using it as a topic of conversation.

The reason was simple: the gap was too big! So big that they couldn't close it. There was no way they could catch up. It was like seeing a figure on a distant road, so far away that it was just a sight.

Xiao Jun had shocked them enough that they had become immune to some of his behaviors. It seemed that if he did anything shocking again, they would not be surprised anymore.

……

At this time, Xiao Jun was putting this kind of medicine into the alchemy furnace, comprehending the principles of alchemy. Soon, the medicinal materials condensed into a green pill.

Xiao Jun took the pill, and a very strong medicinal fragrance came directly to him. Xiao Jun took a deep breath and felt his body relax slightly.

"I've refined a second-grade elixir. It's not that difficult." Xiao Jun nodded. "This is a Life-Boosting Pill. It can urgently heal injuries and also improve your cultivation. It's quite useful. It's one of the more difficult second-grade elixirs."

Xiao Jun was obsessed with alchemy, but his cultivation had never fallen behind. The reason was that he consumed a large number of small evil pills and some highly toxic drugs. For example, he obtained the magic cores of some highly poisonous beasts, refined and catalyzed them, turned them into pills, and ate them directly.

At this time, Xiao Jun had already reached the level of a four-star Grand Fighter. A month was long enough for the Xiao Xiong Dan to undergo some improvements. Now, the improved Xiao Xiong Dan was enough to allow Xiao Jun to reach the level of a six-star Grand Fighter!

Now that his alchemy skills have been upgraded to the second-grade elixir, many of Xiao Jun's guesses and ideas from "The Explanation of the True Medicinal Forms" in his mind have been directly verified, which is of great benefit to Xiao Jun's comprehension of cultivation, alchemy, and even deduction of his own elixir formula!
Xiao Jun's second-grade alchemy skills... are not just about refining second-grade pills, but also about having a 90% or higher chance of success with any second-grade pill recipe.

Yes, that's 90%! Or maybe Xiao Jun has consumed so many experience books from the minds of alchemists, and with his vast knowledge and computing power, if he can't even reach 90%, then isn't that a bit of a waste?
Of course, the original idea was to achieve 100% accuracy, but unfortunately, that was unlikely. With the elixirs Xiao Jun was unfamiliar with, mistakes were inevitable, requiring multiple calculations to correct them.

Xiao Jun regarded the upgrading of the alchemist's skills as the practice of a technique, or in other words, it was a technique that belonged to the alchemist.

And this alchemist's skill is "The Explanation of the True Form of Medicine"!
What is cultivated is the strength of the soul, perception, calculation ability, qi control, pharmacological transformation, etc., and the practice is the way of medicine.

By integrating "True Medicine Form Explanation" into Xiao Jun's practice, he is now able to practice directly through refining medicine.

In the past, Xiao Jun used the time spent refining medicine to cultivate his cultivation. But now, when refining medicine, Xiao Jun uses the alchemy furnace to directly reflect himself, and while refining the medicine, he can also absorb the energy of heaven and earth to strengthen his own cultivation!
However, this method of operation really requires too high a state of mind! The accumulation of knowledge of pharmacology and alchemy is also required to be extremely profound in order to be able to reflect each other with practice.

In essence, it is the simultaneous practice of external alchemy and internal alchemy!
Although this method of cultivation is very difficult, it can be considered as a help to one's cultivation. Although it is not as fast as swallowing poison or pills to improve one's cultivation, it is much faster than the general practice of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth!

And with the improvement of medicine refining methods, the quality of fighting spirit and the speed of cultivation in "True Medicine Form Interpretation" will continue to improve.

Soon, Xiao Jun walked out of his yard, and several bodyguards from the Alchemist Guild also came forward to listen to Xiao Jun's instructions.

"It's okay... I want to go to the Alchemist Guild to take the second-grade alchemist assessment!"

"What!" The bodyguards were immediately shocked.

A group of people looked at Xiao Jun's face, and they were really hesitant to speak.

"Mr. Alchemist... No, sir, the second-grade alchemist needs to submit for review. You can write a letter to apply first. I will hand the letter to Mr. Frank and Mr. Otto." The leader said respectfully to Xiao Jun.

These people were all fighters, and they were all high-star fighters. They worked for Xiao Jun because of Otto's orders, and mainly because Xiao Jun also paid them a salary! Every month, they could receive a few first-grade medicinal pills as salary. Sometimes, they would even give more rewards when they were in a good mood.

For example, when purchasing medicinal herbs and selling pills, or buying rare treasures at auction houses, Xiao Jun was very generous and used gold coins as consumption. So these people worked very hard.

Add to that the salary from the Alchemist Guild, and it's double the happiness, so these people also respect Xiao Jun very much, not only because Xiao Jun is young and talented, but also because Xiao Jun is also a good boss with a lot of money who cares about his subordinates!

In the past, the respect he had received came from Xiao Jun's status as an alchemist, his generosity, and his dedication to his work. But suddenly, Xiao Jun said that he wanted to become a second-grade alchemist.

Could it be... that he really became a fighting master?

Becoming a fighting master at such a young age?
They had a lot to say, and suddenly they wondered if they were not suitable for cultivation, or if Xiao Jun was joking.

But it was obvious that Xiao Jun's face was very serious and he was not joking at all. The leader of the group immediately realized it and did not ask any more questions. His attitude was even more respectful!
